This is the best artist I’ve seen teaching the process. Excellent communication on exactly how she’s using the brush and picking up the colors. Also how she blends it. So grateful I came across you. My first time seeing you. I’m subscribing for more educational videos. Thank you
This is so helpful! You really are talented, not just as an artist, but as a teacher. Those little details, like holding the brush or pressure of brush, are said in an easy to understood manner and why it’s done. I really enjoy all your videos!
I am a beginner. I was struggling with the right technique to paint what I had conceptualized. Thanks a million; in time, you guided me!💐 You are a wonderful teacher and you look gorgeous too! 👍
Aaaahhhhh! my savior! ... I was trying to make a very light foggy sky, like early fall morning! I ended up doing a cloudy sky instead ... now I understand what I was doing wrong! It is very easy to understand how and what you are doing, you explain very well ... Thank you!
I am amazed! This video isn't new but the concepts of how to apply paint is timeless ! We fret too much about the image but overlook the basic foundation and that is the background. Thank You Jane you are a fantastic resource and teacher!!
I truly enjoyed this session. Jane, I find your instruction method far better than any that I've seen on the Internet. I like the way you lay down the objectives of what you are going to teach us. I also like how you set the road map and manage our expectation right off the bat. I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and wish you the best for the 2018 New Year.
Jane, You amazing. Never have seen anyone teach the way you do. Its surreal! Calm,Poised Focused and Engaged . WOW! I could not take my eyes off of every stroke you did. GO JANE!
You teach beautifully. Thank you for demonstrating two ways to paint a smoky background to set the tone of a painting. I watched because I needed to know how to carry off a dusty ground where and animal is trotting. I want to show the dust plumes going upwards. Yours is the only video I could find close to what I’m seeking, thank you.
I'm from Québec,Canada. I learn so much ...Thank you I'm just speaking a little bit English but with you it's so easy to understand you because you are speaking clearly and slowly. Thank you again
I just found you. OMG...I'm gonna learn so much! I started with fluid art 4 years ago, and now I want to branch out...I'm so lucky to have searched for just the right words! Yay for me!
I never thought myself artistic, I never wanted to try and paint because I can't really draw or any of that business. I decided I wanted to try canvas painting and went to TH-cam to see how it all works. Sounds cheesy but your videos gave me the push to do it. I LOVE your teaching and your art is wonderful. Finally did my own paintings and I have no plan on stopping! Thank you!
i absolutely loved the way u did the misty background with the round brush. your instructions are so easy to follow . i love your calm and cool demeanour
I have watched alot of different art tutorials, and I find that you are the best teacher. You actually teach us exactly what you are doing with your brush. thank you so much for all these tutorials!!
Thank you so much for this video it will really help me... my son is a wild land firefighter and now I can paint him a realistic scenery that looks like the photos that he took while he was fighting 🔥!
Jane, as a beginning painter I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into your tutorials. I find it helpful that you show your brush and how much paint you put on it as well as describing the brush strokes, ie pressure & direction. Also appreciate your explanation as to why a canvas with gesso on it is preferential with the dry brush method. Love your tutorials, Thank you so very much!
You are so welcome, Carolyn! I'm glad it's helpful for you. I know I was really frustrated when I was trying to learn, because a lot of that information wasn't given. Keep painting and learning, friend!
Ur voice, the music, your expertise & technique are all working in harmony. I’ve seen a lot of tutorials and must agree with many here, you are amongst the best if not theeeeee best. Thank you kindly for taking time and teaching us.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. It has so many useful descriptions that I’ve found other videos haven’t had. God has given you such a wonderful gift! Just want you to know, Christ paid such a heavy price for you and He wants you to know you are precious to Him. I hope your artist career continues to flourish!
I love watching you paint - your demonstration makes it very easy to understand and follow. I am a 75 year old beginner and your videos are very helpful. Thanks Jane!
This is exactly what I've been trying to paint ..started to do it then lost confidence ...so I'm now going to be more confident and finish it up...thanks Jane ...❤️🙂
This tutorial video is very good. Ms Jane's method and direction to use the brushes and applications of paints are very much useful.. Thank you very much Jane..!!
@@PaintingwithJane well maybe I can say that I have a degree in fine arts and painting for the last 12 years academically . So hopefully that proves my opinion is not because of my lack of knowledge but the exact opposite and it can make you even happier
Hey Jane, I just want to leave a note of thanks. I've been playing with paint for nearly 30 years (ceramics, folk art, craft projects) but only painting on canvas with any level of seriousness, for about 3 years. It's these kind of instructions, the ones that give me instructions on elements that I can use in the way that I want, that have been most helpful. I have no desire to do knock of paintings of other people's designs, and while they're good for practice, it doesn't make me feel like an artist. Even at that though, you do better than most TH-cam art "teachers" out there, because you always encourage people to do their own thing. What you've done is given me the skills to become someone who feels like an artist - one that still does knock offs (I paint mostly dog portraits from photographs, my own photos, commissioned pieces with permission to use their photos, or free stock) but with the skills to pull that off. I also love your style, so when I do complete a painting you've created, at least I'm left with something I want to hang on my own wall. I believe that's your goal, to unlock the artist in others, rather than just getting people to reproduce your paintings step by step and keep them watching. These days all I do is look up things like, "how to paint fog" and without fail, your videos come up, I don't have to watch an entire hour's worth of video of someone who has used fog, only to discover it's not going to work with the idea in my head. If I'm ever not broke, I'll be happy to share my gratitude via Patreon, but for now I hope that a sincere thank you is enough. If I'm right and your goal is to unlock the artist in others, I can confirm that you're succeeding.
She's the best teacher I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Very detailed in explanations of why to paint and how to apply it. I spend more time watching this than any other subjects on the wire. Love the projects Jane and her subjects are so interesting. Five star rating in my book!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I tried many times and was going to give up on this type of background until I saw your video. Omg! I had tears! I used blue, lavender and white and with your technique it turned out amazingly! Thanks!!
So lovely and effortlessly brushed. Background music mimics the passage of billowing smoke or rolling storm clouds. Lovely, thank you for showing us this lovely technique.
I have been working with this technique feels like forever. I have made too many holes and blending was a nightmare. Thank you for showing both techniques back to back. I like them both. An artist is not always sunshine and butterflies...she's moody, restless as well.
Thank you so much ! I've been trying to get this effect for stormy/moody landscapes, and I always end up with a muddy mess. Thanks for sharing...........
Now that I have found your instructional videos, I want to stay home from work and PAINT ALL DAY!! You are amazing, love all the information that you share so that we can be as creative as our minds will let us be!
Fantastically helpful video Jane. You not only demonstrate perfectly what you are doing, but you also thoroughly and effectively explain the various techniques involved. I also appreciate how you show when "rules" may be broken to achieve certain results. I found this to be extremely helpful. Thank you! Excellent instruction!
This is the best tutorial I've seen on blending and backgrounds. I'm learning to paint with gouache, not skillful enough (yet) for acrylic, but many of your techniques could apply to gouache.
I love your calm, cool, confident vibration. You're a great tutor and very talented. I just started painting a few months ago and have painted along with you in several of your videos...you give a lot of useful info and techniques that I need as a beginner. Thanks so much for sharing! Love fr Jamaica - JAH BLESS!
Your videos are so helpful to a newbie like me who is struggling with blending and how to use the various brushes I have so thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
I started painting a few months ago. For my next paint, I wanted a background similar to this one. A little lighter. Thank you for this lesson. I learned much in the way of using these colors and the blending of.
Thank you Jane-- really great explanations for artistically-challenged noobs like me! I really appreciate you taking your time and explaining the use of paint and strokes. You're the best!
Thank you so much for this! I think I learnt more in the first 10 minutes then I did while fighting with my painting for over 3 months. I so wish I had found this sooner, it would have saved me so much hardship.
This was so helpful. Thank you for breaking down your technique, stopping and showing us really specifically what you had done. I'm not nearly as hesitant to start now. I'm gonna gather my things and play around.
Thank you. I am still learning how to manage paint and even though I can see the colours I have difficulty capturing what is in my head. Your video helped me a lot xx
Thank you so much for this. I've just been commissioned to do a portrait of somebody's pet and they've given me full reign over the background, this has given me inspiration to try this technique out. I've seen it before but never tried it, I think now might be time. Thank you!
Jane, I find I am a bit obsessed with your videos. Your voice soothing, your directions clear. I so wish I could paint. My 'paint night' experience of an underwater scene had nemo looking like he was lost in the Children of the Corn. I love your videos and maybe will channel you the next time I am painting my interior walls tho!
Ohhh soooo helpful with my project. Exactly what I was searching for.. a Smokey sky using acrylic! Easy with oil, but trying to learn about acrylics. Very appreciative of your kindness in sharing. Love the relaxing music as well. Will watch several times before starting my HUGE canvas. Thank you!
I love the moodiness of both these tutorials. I too am quite a beginner but I do love to try painting seascapes and I can imagine a sky like this in a stormy seascape. I have changed from oils and landscapes (Bob Ross, he really got me started) to acrylics. I am still struggling with them but loving every minute. Looking forward to more tutorials. They're great. Thank you
+Maria Hendrick Thank you, Maria! Yes, these are both perfect for moody landscapes. That's what I really love to paint too. I'm working on a video right this minute that uses this technique as a backdrop for storm clouds :D
After weeks of struggling I found this video and then It was like magic I did it and I liked the background I painted🔥 oh and the background music helped as well (listened to it with earphones)
Thank you Jane. I love the way you put your videos together and the gentle nature of your voice. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you again David Perth Western Australia
This has been so helpful for me as a newbie in acrylic painting. Thank you for showing your expertise. I found this channel while looking for tips on how to do a random color background. Your presentation more than gave what I was looking for.
WOW factor for sure! And I thought I could paint until I saw what you could do. I'm a fan and will be looking for more videos of yours. I am going to try this effect.
+Joanne Gennarella Aw, you're too sweet!! Thank you! I'm sure your paintings are lovely :D I'd love to see what you come up with if you try my tutorial
Wow. I have been looking for someone like you to help me learn techniques. I’m just a beginner, but know I can flourish with your help. Thank you for this helpful, real-time video. I want to learn more from you.
Jane you are such an inspiration. I appreciate your patient AND thorough instructions and explanations. Thank you so very much! Please keep the videos coming.
Christina Richardson I totally agree!! I was amazed how easy she made it look and how confident I am that I can do it too! It's actually beautiful just as it was! It would be pretty with a stromy saying on it and maybe a small pop of color with a small flower 😉
Amazing to watch how it all just comes together, I’d love to take painting up again, and this has just given me the push I needed to do it. Thanks for making this. 😊
I would like to see you do a demonstration on lava clouds. I am painting a Phoenix rising from the clouds and lava. That would be wonderful if I could see how you do it. Your 2 techniques have really given me a good idea of what to do but I would like your color combinations for the lava clouds. Thank you for your time Carolyn
Thank you. I just did a forest fire and just flew by the seat of my pants. The technique you just demonstrated I seemed to have pulled it off. By watching the video I know I can do it again. The first time was luck. Your video actually showed me how to create this. Great tutorial.
I would like to add, now having watched the entire video I loved your presentation which was so calm and pleasant, and the music was lovely too. Thank you again xx
Really like this lesson, thanks! I've milked these two techniques for a few paintings that all have a general formula of silhouette plus smoky background - you can do so much with it it's great! The three colours on the brush at the same time idea works really well for a smoky effect - also with stippling (gives a spray paint like effect). Thanks again for the great videos!
Hi there just wanted to let u know that your videos are amazing. Super stoked I came across this one and then all the others that follow. The possibilities are endless and your techniques and tips are most helpful to a noob like me. Thanks a bunch
Stumbled across this looking for hand-painted backdrops (for photography). It's not what I was looking for, but your technique, if used on a larger scale, would probably still make a great backdrop.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I am a newbie and feel like I can paint the Cattails, the Midnight Raven, and the Awaken At Dusk. I believe this tutorial will be very helpful in backgrounds. The second was new to me and I plan to use it with the d. Purple for a Halloween painting I want to do. Please continue to put great painting tutorials up with fun stuff that looks amazing and is basic enough for beginning painters.
Simply OUTSTANDING!This has really caught my attention! Such a simple technique but such awesome results - thank you Jane! I'm gonna watch all your vids and try some variations. I also enjoyed your laid back presentation and simple instructions - not to mention the cool music and T-Shirts! You are one cool dude of an artist - keep posting please. Geo.
Thank you so much Ann for all these awesome tutorials.. I am learning so much from you and turning each technique into my own designs. Your turning me into an actual painter instead of a pattern painter. Please keep them coming.
Jane, great techniques on both processes. I like to see the work you do with this. Thanks for taking the time to show the details and way you do this. Great voice over.
Hi Jane, just did a smoky painting inspired by this lesson using your 3-colour scheme and the first technique. Thanks for the inspiration! You'e really good at teaching and haven't across a better smoke effect :) Thanks so much :)
This is the best artist I’ve seen teaching the process. Excellent communication on exactly how she’s using the brush and picking up the colors. Also how she blends it. So grateful I came across you. My first time seeing you. I’m subscribing for more educational videos. Thank you

+Painting with Jane like when you have something in your mind and have no idea how to get out on canvas lol
The Reefer Gladness Yep, that happens all the time! Probably 50% of the time I sit down to paint, lol.
These two smoky background techniques have opened up a whole new world for me. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skill.
This tutorial video is very good. Ms Jane's method and direction to use the brushes and applications of paints are very much useful.. Thank you very much Jane..!!
How have I missed you? I really enjoy your soft voice and easy going attitude. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Aaaw, Lela, thank you so much!!! I'm glad you found me! Happy New Year :D
What wonderful instruction! Best explanation I’ve seen! Glad to see someone say Gesso isn’t always needed. Thank you for sharing!
Maybe the best background video on TH-cam. No joke. Scumbling is one of DaVinci's techniques
You just made my day! Thank you so much!
@@PaintingwithJane well maybe I can say that I have a degree in fine arts and painting for the last 12 years academically . So hopefully that proves my opinion is not because of my lack of knowledge but the exact opposite and it can make you even happier
Thank you, friend 💛
In my kitchen trying to paint something smoky but not getting it ... then I found your video and now I know how it's done thanks Jane! ✌

Merci Jane de prendre de votre temps d'artiste pour nous dévoiler tout votre talent. J'aime beaucoup.
This is one of the most useful and clearly informative art videos I have seen. Thank you very much for being so generous with your knowledge.
Thank u
Stumbled upon this in April of 2022, it helped me so much with painting clouds, both ways. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
She's the best teacher I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Very detailed in explanations of why to paint and how to apply it. I spend more time watching this than any other subjects on the wire. Love the projects Jane and her subjects are so interesting. Five star rating in my book!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I must agree, you are excellent in explaining and demonstrating how to blend colors.
So soothing to watch, my mind is openly absorbing all of your instruction.
The best demonstration of cloudy mood I have seen.. thank you so much Jane.
I tried many times and was going to give up on this type of background until I saw your video. Omg! I had tears! I used blue, lavender and white and with your technique it turned out amazingly! Thanks!!
I'm getting some major Bob Ross feels. Ur voice is so soothing! :)
So lovely and effortlessly brushed. Background music mimics the passage of billowing smoke or rolling storm clouds. Lovely, thank you for showing us this lovely technique.

Amazing to watch how it all just comes together, I’d love to take painting up again, and this has just given me the push I needed to do it. Thanks for making this. 😊
Thank you again. I can picture some really fun paintings with this type of background
+Linda Gallipo Thank you! Yep, it's pretty much my go-to background :)
I would like to see you do a demonstration on lava clouds. I am painting a Phoenix rising from the clouds and lava. That would be wonderful if I could see how you do it. Your 2 techniques have really given me a good idea of what to do but I would like your color combinations for the lava clouds. Thank you for your time Carolyn
Thank you. I just did a forest fire and just flew by the seat of my pants. The technique you just demonstrated I seemed to have pulled it off. By watching the video I know I can do it again. The first time was luck. Your video actually showed me how to create this. Great tutorial.
I would like to add, now having watched the entire video I loved your presentation which was so calm and pleasant, and the music was lovely too. Thank you again xx
The best video I've seen on the topic. Will make wonderful backgrounds for my Asian subjects.Thank you!
I found your tutorial looking for basics, as I'm moving my first steps with acrylics. Just wanted to thank you, a really clear and encouraging lesson.
+Bià Effe I'm glad you found me, Bià. Enjoy painting, and let me know if you have any questions :D
Technique 1 worked so well for me just now! Thank you amazing tutorial!
Really helpful. You explain the details of the technique while demonstrating. Thanks.
Thank you 😊. After 3 hours browsing for this technique I finally found you! Thank you so much your video was really helpful!!!! X
Really like this lesson, thanks! I've milked these two techniques for a few paintings that all have a general formula of silhouette plus smoky background - you can do so much with it it's great! The three colours on the brush at the same time idea works really well for a smoky effect - also with stippling (gives a spray paint like effect). Thanks again for the great videos!
You're so welcome, Nathan! Yes, this is my favorite technique :)
Love the way you explain what you are doing and why!
Wow what a great tutorial. Thank you so much. Used it with different colors but it still worked great. You are a wonderful teacher. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi there just wanted to let u know that your videos are amazing. Super stoked I came across this one and then all the others that follow. The possibilities are endless and your techniques and tips are most helpful to a noob like me. Thanks a bunch
Stumbled across this looking for hand-painted backdrops (for photography). It's not what I was looking for, but your technique, if used on a larger scale, would probably still make a great backdrop.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I am a newbie and feel like I can paint the Cattails, the Midnight Raven, and the Awaken At Dusk. I believe this tutorial will be very helpful in backgrounds. The second was new to me and I plan to use it with the d. Purple for a Halloween painting I want to do. Please continue to put great painting tutorials up with fun stuff that looks amazing and is basic enough for beginning painters.
+Patricia Simmons I'm so glad you like it, Patricia! I'm glad I could help, and would love to see what you paint :D
So informative! Thank you. I appreciate that you also show samples of your work with the background. Good bless and keep creating 🌹
Simply OUTSTANDING!This has really caught my attention! Such a simple technique but such awesome results - thank you Jane! I'm gonna watch all your vids and try some variations. I also enjoyed your laid back presentation and simple instructions - not to mention the cool music and T-Shirts! You are one cool dude of an artist - keep posting please. Geo.
Thank you so much Ann for all these awesome tutorials.. I am learning so much from you and turning each technique into my own designs. Your turning me into an actual painter instead of a pattern painter. Please keep them coming.
Thank you, Deb!!
Feel like im at a painting spa. Its so relaxing.
U r amazing artist and best teacher ,

Rubab Ch. I don't do a lot of realistic painting, but keep watching! Maybe something along those lines will pop up :)
Jane, great techniques on both processes. I like to see the work you do with this. Thanks for taking the time to show the details and way you do this. Great voice over.
Thanks, Michael :)
Hi Jane, just did a smoky painting inspired by this lesson using your 3-colour scheme and the first technique. Thanks for the inspiration! You'e really good at teaching and haven't across a better smoke effect :) Thanks so much :)
Thank you, Nathan!! I'm so glad that worked for you! :D
